Boardwalk Expansion, Skyline Bistro Opens, Local Hiring Surge, and More: Virginia Beach Local Pulse

サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for March 21, 2025.
We're kicking off today with some exciting news from City Hall. The Virginia Beach City Council has approved plans for a major expansion of the Oceanfront boardwalk. This project aims to extend the iconic walkway by another mile, creating more space for pedestrians and cyclists. Construction is set to begin next month, just in time for the summer season.
Speaking of the Oceanfront, we've got perfect beach weather on tap today. Expect sunny skies with highs near 75 degrees. It's an ideal day to hit the sand or explore our local parks. Looking ahead, we'll see a slight cool-down over the weekend, with temperatures in the upper 60s.
In business news, we're thrilled to welcome a new addition to Town Center. The highly anticipated rooftop restaurant, Skyline Bistro, opened its doors last night. This upscale eatery offers panoramic views of the city skyline and features a menu showcasing local seafood. Reservations are already booking up fast, so plan ahead if you want to check it out.
For job seekers, there's good news on the horizon. The Virginia Beach Department of Economic Development reports that local companies are on a hiring spree. Over 500 new positions have been posted in the last week alone, with particular demand in the tech and healthcare sectors. The average salary for these roles is around 70,000 dollars per year.
Shifting gears to real estate, the market remains competitive. The median home price in Virginia Beach now stands at 415,000 dollars, up 3% from last year. However, we're seeing a slight increase in inventory, which could provide some relief for buyers in the coming months.
On the cultural front, don't forget that the annual Virginia Beach Arts Festival kicks off tomorrow. This year's event features over 100 performances across 25 venues throughout the city. Highlights include a beachfront concert series and an interactive art installation at Mount Trashmore Park.
In local sports, congratulations are in order for the First Colonial High School swim team. They brought home the state championship title last weekend, with senior Sarah Johnson breaking a state record in the 100-meter freestyle.
Now for our daily crime report. Virginia Beach Police are investigating a series of car break-ins that occurred overnight in the Hilltop area. Residents are advised to lock their vehicles and remove valuables. Anyone with information is urged to contact the non-emergency police line.
On a brighter note, we're proud to share a heartwarming story from our community. Local fifth-grader Tommy Chen has raised over 5,000 dollars for the Virginia Aquarium's sea turtle rescue program. Tommy organized a neighborhood bake sale and online fundraiser after learning about the challenges facing these marine animals.
This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
